Hi Mr. Frekhtman, I was injured by a concrete truck chute full of wet concrete swung into my right inner lower forearm. I have had an ER Dr, Occupational Dr, as well as an Orthopedic Dr, conclude acute radial palsy nerve damage with possible median nerve damage as well. Negative Xray, thankfully, Dr’s orders not to use my right arm for 8 weeks. I have hired a work comp and personal injury lawyer from the same firm in Minneapolis. Being that it was an injury at work by third party. The Work Comp Pre trial hearing is scheduled for 7/30/24. I don’t need to attend but need to be available by phone. What can I expect? What comes of these hearings? What are the next steps? Etc. The concrete truck driver/chute operator (third party) was more worried asking 4 times if i was ok, meanwhile after immediately telling my foreman with blood running down my arm he replied, “well your arm ain’t cut off is it”? He did not write an injury report. I was on the job 3.5 weeks before being let go due to lack of progression and “not wanting me to get injured on the job”. Sounds like the incident was talked about with my foreman’s superior but never written up formally. Post injury I was numb burning tingling down to my right hand and could barely perform duties but I pushed on trying to prove I wasn’t weak to my crew. Problem is they fired my before I made my claim. I’m not receiving benefits. Is it possible after the pretrial hearing I may receive back pay in work comp benefits? Thanks for all you do!
There’s no real correlation between a compliance conference and when a case is settled. A compliance conf is like a check in to make sure prior court orders have been followed or complied with and that discovery continues to run smoothly. I would say usually cases settle after all discovery is done so probably after the final compliance conference
DDD = Degenerative Disc Disease. Typically the Natural Degenerative Loss of the Boney Structures of Vertebral System due to aging. A Board Certified Radiologist / Surgeon will be able to distinguish the differences and note trauma vs DDD. There’s a term called, “hydration” that refers to the condition of a healthy spine, even post 30s.
@@AttorneyArkady there is a big debate about the word degeneration with respect to it causes. The medical terminology states deh-JEH-neh-ruh-tiv dih-ZEEZ A disease in which the function or structure of the affected tissues or organs changes for the worse over time. Is that a common law or common medical term that have been used in the manner in which you are using it in “related to natural age progression”? Could degeneration start after an injury? If not, please support your position/stance. Thank you!

Hi Mr Frekhtman, what happened in compliance conference and when that happen is after discovery or just any time thanks
Usually after the preliminary conference to ensure court orders are being complied with
And how long after compliance conference the case could be settled

Are you sure about degeneration?
I believe, it should be clarification about that word and how it relates to injuries.
Degenerative disc disease refers to natural aging process as opposed to trauma
